terial, either glass, iron, steel or the like Vis withdrawn from theinterior of the furnace, it may come into engagement with the waterjacket and be held thereb nother' object of this invention is theproduction of a Ushaped water jacket positioned adjacent the tapopeningof the furnace jacket so as to easily catch the heated materialwhich 'is being withdrawn from the furnace for chilling the same owingto the fact that the water jacket is provided with a plurality of pipesattached thereto for allowing the free circulation of watertherethrough.

Still another object of this invention is the production of a waterjacket having a pair of detachable caps, these caps being so formed asto engage the open portions of the water jacket thereby forming aclosure for the same and also provided with openings for allowingsuitable pipes to be attached thereto for causing a circulation of waterwithin the jacket.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists 'of'certainnovel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will behereinafter fully` described andclaimed.

Fig. 7 isa section taken on line 7-7 of Fig. 8 looking in the direction of thearrow. Fig. 8 is adetailed perspective View of the interior ofl one of ecaps. Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals l designates ingeneral the furkcomprises the usual base jacket for the usual side walls3 and forward wall e thereby forming the usual jacket having the tapplate 5 forming the tap opening 6. This tap plate 5 is held ment withthe forward wall 4L of byineans of the flange 7 which is gagenient withthe flange 8 4 by means of the rivets 9. l The water jacket of thisvinvention is adapted to be supported in any suitable manner not deemednecessary to be herein disclosed upon the forward portion of the wall 4of the furnace jacket so as to surround the tap opening 6. lhis waterjacket comprises a U-shaped hollow is elongated so horizontal plane.Furth jacket 10 may be provided with extending shelf l2 formed upon theopof the jacket to the side upon ln order to form closures for openportions of the water jacket l0, there is lded a pair of caps 15. Eachcap 15 is substantially semi-circular in cross-section d is elongatedVso as to be of length as the Each cap l5 is provided with formedintegral extending at right angles thereto so as to rest upon thelongitudinal flange 1l of the water jacket l0. videdwith apertures l toregister with the the longitudinal flange ll the upper When length ofthe water jacket l0.,
